Excerpt from The American Medical Times, Vol. 8: Being a Weekly Series of the New York Journal of Medicine; January-June, 1864 Next, I wish to take exception to the idea that we should not regard as a condition of saving the limb the removal of Splinters of bone. Whatever figures may show in support of such a view, the experience of almost every surgeon is to the contrary. I believe that the wound of exit should be explored and all loose splinters of bone be removed; those that are firmly imbedded should be left.

This is the first full-length biography of New York surgeon and social activist Stephen Smith (1823–1922), who was appointed to fifty years of public service by three mayors, seven governors, and two U.S. presidents. The book presents the complex life of Stephen Smith, a consistent figure in the history of public health, mental health, housing reform in New York, and even urban reforestation. Utilizing Smith’s writings, public records, and recently discovered personal correspondence, this research shows how Smith succeeded where others failed. It also acknowledges that Smith was unsuccessful in convincing his fellow professionals to fight for a cabinet level public health department or to resist the rise of custodial care for the mentally impaired. Given Smith’s many accomplishments, the book asks us to consider if what stopped him stops us, highlighting the relevance of Smith’s story to contemporary debates. Pestilence, Insanity, and Trees is a readable and well-documented narrative and a resource for students and scholars, filling gaps in the history of American medicine, public health, mental health, and New York social reform.

A scar is left at the inner angle Of the eye, which is sometimes sunken, but is always linear, and is never conspicuous.
